Recent shifts in the public’s sentiment around sports betting have led to important legal changes.
In June 2018, State Governor Phil Murphy signed Assembly Bill 4111 into New Jersey State Law, and within days the first retail sports sites and legal NJ sportsbooks went up. PASPA had precluded New Jersey and most other states from allowing and regulating sports betting before the Supreme Court’s ruling.
Supreme Court that declared the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) unlawful made sports betting legal in New Jersey.
